Piraeus bank, and the chairman of the National Bank Luka Katseli, it is considered certain that it will be replaced, as it impinges on restrictive provisions of the new law.
Having completed one and a half year in the administration of the National, a lot of people say that the mix of experiences available to the ca. Katseli, both from her tenure as a Minister, and her career in international organisations, they brought a very fast positive sign in the oldest credit institution of the country.
The fine-tuning of the as the head of the Hellenic Bank association a very critical period summer of 2015 – with the bank holiday and the imposition of restrictions on the movement of capital to create huge uncertainty in the economy – were instrumental, as they say market players, to avoid panic. The international profile of ms Katseli and the contacts with key actors of the international economic and academic elites, both in Europe and in the united states have contributed to is the same one anchor of trust for international investors, given the general distrust in the then economic team of the government.
But on the Highway, the own intervention and involvement was crucial, in order to be resolved quickly and to the benefit of the bank’s critical assumptions or concluded new partnerships. Example, the sale of the Astir palace resort, after retractions months has now entered the final straight. Characteristic is also the agreement that we recently entered into the National – after a meeting of ms Katseli with the ambassador of Israel – with the ΙΑΤΙ, the largest organization umbrella of Israel in the fields of high technology and innovation, mentoring of young Greek entrepreneurs by israeli experts.
Two, moreover, very recent initiatives presented by the National Bank, bearing the stamp of mrs. Katseli. It is the program act4Greece, a platform for crowdfunding, through which supported activities that respond to needs of society and the economy, and for the new programme “NATIONAL Value Chain”, an innovative financing tool that supports Greek small and medium-sized enterprises that participate in supply chains and value chains, starting in the shipping industry.
This course of ms Katseli him a year and a half, both on the National as well as in the Greek Banking Union – although the same is not derived, nor had anything to do with the traditional banking establishment of the country – is not convinced, however, institutions that remain firm in their position for unswerving implementation of the new law. It is considered certain, however, that in the impending reshuffle of the government, mrs Katseli will take a crucial job in the production department.
